Sets the number of seconds without hello packets before an adjacency is declared down.

Syntax: ip ospf dead-interval seconds

no ip ospf dead-interval

seconds

The number of seconds not hearing a router's Hello packets before the router's neighbors will declare it down. Valid values are 1 to 65535

Description: The dead-interval is a timer used to time out inactive adjacencies.

Use the ip ospf dead-interval seconds command to configure the number of seconds this router should wait between receiving hello packets from a neighbor before declaring the adjacency to that neighbor down.
